Guild Wars 2

Let me know your thoughts, thanks. : /

Countless

And so much more…

Pvp just came of as a joke/side project. No pvp dev on the panel, colin’s dodge about the one ‘decent’ pvp question after a very awkward moment on the dev panel (They’d never expect a pvp question? o.O), no announcement for pvp or atleast an insight in the future, casters laughing with their own game, etc. We literally got nothing. Even more it seemed like a slap in the face of the community.

But hey, they can show the world that they had a 10k tournament.

There was one point where they were looking at two spirit rangers fighting each other and they just didn’t say anything – I don’t think they could pick out anything that was going on to commentate.

Anyway, don’t leave countless, we’ll miss you akitteng on that rock-ledge thing near the target golems, and we just can’t replace a ledge afker of your standard so easily.

All of my yes. It’s absolutely mind-boggling that we were forced into this HORRIFIC meta simply because of 10 players that wanted to play in a hotel. It’s absolutely astounding that the devs even claim to have no knowledge of the PvP IN THEIR OWN GAME.

I’ve recently stopped playing this game for the simple reason that’s it’s just not fun anymore. For instance, I’ll go into a solo queue (or team queue occasionally) and end up in a match against stun warriors, spirit rangers, and necros. Fighting against a stun warrior is probably one of the most frustrating things in this game for me. The simple argument is to “dodge all of their stuns n00b l2p”, however, it’s impossible to dodge every single stun from those tiny asurans. When do you get hit by them, it’s already gg. You literally CANNOT DO ANYTHING for 5 seconds while they do 100b and you just have no choice but to smash your keyboard with a hammer because you have no chance to win.

Fight against a spirit ranger? The argument “kill the spirits then their a ranger with no stun breaks or anything”. How in the world can you kill the spirits when you’re being attacked by a player and a pet that can fear/hard cc you out the ass?? Not to mention the spirits act in such a manner that they’re constantly moving out of the AOEs you try to hit them with. No chance in a 1v1, gg.

Fight against a necro? No comment needed.

Honestly, this game was much better right before the quickness nerf. That’s when there was a good meta that was “decently” balanced. The reason it was so much better than this kittenhole of a meta was because it took skill to win your fights. There was none of this petting zoo AOE condi nuking, there were actual plays and strategies involved.

ANet, I know you don’t care about PvP anymore and this is the reason you’ve lost, yet another, loyal player.

It’s been fun,
Vöz

But Countless, I care about town clothes :/.

That was hilarious. Probably the best part of the matches.

Yeah, and this game at PAX, was a joke. I laughed, but it was sad to laugh at a game that players, and developers want to take seriously.

WOW SOMEONE GETS IT! The Q and A was a complete joke in reguards to sPVP. A-net discusses talking about not adding new game types for PVP because they dont wanna take away from the game. But heres the thing…… THAT MEANS YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SPVP GAMETYPE SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT TIME INTO IT TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT GOOD! Instead, SPVP is COMPLETELY forgotten about, making new gametypes completely out of the question because we cant even get the only one we have BALANCED AND FUN!

Good job losing your player base, Anet

Especially when 1 year after GW1 launch, they hosted a 100 000 dollar tournament.

I think for something to be called a tournament, there has to be competition.

Now that the jokes over and we had a good laugh can we has the real pvp side of the game now?

No? Well at least we got ascended weapons and Super adventure box. That’s not a complaint I at least have something to do in PvE, and I found the box fun.

While i agree everything else. mace/shield gs build can’t not perma cc or cc as effective as a perma cc build. and 100b does kitten damage without PPC which they die real fast with, not to mention as engineer have damage reduction while stunned, or you can blind, cc, kit and all that, when they have their little mace out its most likely going to stun you, so you can just keep it ranged or anything, and for asura its equal to every job, its just op in itself compare to other races. as myself, i’ve also been perm cc’ed by an engineer. the real perm CC, but being able to move a single step nor do anything at all till down from 85% hp

and sure stun warrior is that fun to me, i perfer the old powerful gs lb build

sorry bro but i don’t think you understand how irrelevant spvp is in the gw2 world. the fans at that event are what pretty much makes 90% of the gw2 community, they are they ones that are into the lore, art, and everything in the pve side of the game. everyone there (including the devs) are oblivious as to what is going on in the spvp realm.
everyone there was looking forward for new features in pve, storyline, etc. i doubt anyone was there for the tourny itself. i have no problems with it, it just is what it is.

I pretty much share my thoughts with you Countless, and I definitely agree that some people on the board were asking questions that… yeah, it actually made me feel embarrassed just by watching lol…

Oh and about keeping the meta the way it was: Why I think this is sad is not only because they decided to keep it like that, but also because I’ve got this feeling that they kept it the way it is, because they just did not dare to make balance changes pre-pax. I think at this point they are afraid of their own game when it comes to balance, and they feel like they are not in control of balance anymore…

Saying you don’t want to change the meta before the tournament finals, because you don’t want to confuse the supposedly top 10 players in the game? Oh please!! If anything, making changes to the meta few days before the finals only makes things more interesting in my point of view, and it shows which team can adapt better…

A-net discusses talking about not adding new game types for PVP because they dont wanna take away from the game.

Yes please dont take away from the conquest, you would let down a whopping 10 players Arenanot.

Conq fails, and so do you, open your eyes, this pvp wont grow unless you make deathmatch and the classes both more reactive and weaker, kinda like a scepter ele. (to fight against i mean, the most important abilities being big slow attacks that hurt if you dont pay attention but allow much more counterplaying.) Stop trying to make everyone feel like superman. Sure its ‘easy to understand’ right now according to your devs but a gamer would describe this as bland casualised garbage.
Also, amazing job saying this in a top player e-sport tournament setting, good to see you guys arent lacking in common sense. Especially when it isnt easy to understand at all not because the gameplay is intricate, but because its spammy flashy nonsense. Lmao.

Here’s something easy to understand: whatever you guys feel is a good idea, do the opposite. Then again good luck changing the game from Spam Mode to reactionary decision making, from designing hard counters to previous overbuffs to sensible balance changes. Any pvp game is doomed to waste away in a forgotten ditch without this and GW2 already lost its house.

What came into my mind when i heared the questions from the audience was that maybe the people and their question were preselected by Anet so, they can make sure that nobody comes up with a question they feel uncomfortable with or that would be too critical. That would at least explain why all the questions were about living story, rp, or lore. Or in other words aspects of the game where it is in good shape more or less.

Seems like PAX was a turning point for many people. I know some days ago you were still defending them in streamchat you sneaky mesmer!

Btw yeah, great feedback.

The questions were funny. My favorite one was:
“Could we have a message in the guild chat, when we obtain a legendary?”

It really made wondering, if the concerns voiced on the forums are so disconnected from the normal player. PvE’ers complain about ascended gear and timegated contet everywhere, PvP’ers complain about … I guess we all know that. Nobody asked questions about the fundamental isssues of GW2.

Thank you for all the feedback

I hope you’re on the panel for State of the Mists btw. Would be a very welcome addition imo.

Sorry, read GW2 there, wasn’t thinking. Was kinda confused lol

When things hit rock bottom, they can only go up from there.
